Jesse Latta Williams

My grandson got into some trouble at his middle school concerning pot. I called Jesse and he immediately put my mind at ease about what could happen. He had dealt with the same situation many times. He set up a time for us to meet, told me the cost and continued to reassure me that he could help. As ...it turned out the school handled the situation in a manner our family could accept without the help of a lawyer. I called Jesse and told him I wanted to pay him for his phone consultation. He said absolutely not and that he would tear up the check. Jesse stated that because we are all working for the good of children he did not want any payment. I would highly recommend Jesse Williams. He was very helpful.

I have had to face several situations where I have had to acquire legal representation. Most were for common occurrences, such as a divorce, others were of a more personal nature. Of all the attorneys I have dealt with, Jesse impressed me the most. He adheres to his promises, quick to respond, and I... find him quite trustworthy. He is always willing to listen to me, asks questions, and would give solid, comprehensive suggestions. He is extremely knowledgeable, but quick to admit when not. (He will get back to you with the correct information in a timely manner.) All of this is given in the most compassionate manner. He really does care about his clients. I would highly recommend Jesse to anyone in need of representation.

I called Jesse upon being pulled over for possession of a controlled substance in Gaylord, MI. I had a very small amount of marijuana and fully cooperated with law enforcement. Jesse quoted a fair flat flee of $1500 to handle the case, but after reviewing local laws and decisions I decided to represe...nt myself. Jesse was completely understanding of this decision and continued to make himself available for free legal advice. He provided instructions on how to proceed and information on the prosecuting attorney and Judge in Gaylord. Thanks to his help, I asked the Court (prosecutor) for a 7411 plea and the Judge for a plea-by-mail because of my out-of-town student status. Both were granted. I paid a $290 fine and provided I avoid trouble for 6 months, a clean criminal record. Jesse's guidance and accessibility were critical in providing me the needed information on the process, what to expect and how to proceed. The fact that he was not only willing but eager to help speaks volumes about how much he cares for his clients. He seemed like a good guy, especially relative to some Defense lawyers. I am certainly thankful he provided free advice and a calming influence in the moments after a very unfortunate encounter with law enforcement.

We hired Jessie Williams to handle a Domestic Violence/DWLS case in Traverse City, MI. We were assigned a public defender, but the public defender had no intention of defending the charge. He only wanted to plea it out. Mr. Williams consulted with us and felt that the charge would not stand in co...urt. Mr. Williams defended this case with the utmost compassion and decorum. He communicated with us regularly, keeping us updated on all motions, hearing dates, prosecutor meetings & discovery. Mr. Williams was honest in his assessment of the case, and forthwith with any investigative findings. We found Mr. Williams fees to be customary & reasonable. He even went against his normal protocol allowing us to pay his fee in installments. The only thing he required was that the fees be paid before the hearing date. Almost unheard of in today's attorney contracts. Mr. Williams did get us a NOT GUILTY verdict. He made his case on cross examination of the prosecutors witnesses alone. All this was accomplished with adamant resistance from the prosecutors office.. I would highly recommend Jessie Williams for any legal situation that may arise. His office staff was courteous, attentive, and a pleasure to work with. His investigative staff was first rate, and stayed with the case through the hearing. We are very fortunate to have found the right advocate in Jessie Williams. Please consider his firm when looking for legal counsel. He has a broad area of experience and he covers a wide area of Northern Michigan. We witnessed a high respect from all areas of the court system towards him and from him. You can rest assured if using Mr. Williams you will receive honest and sound legal advise, as well as excellent support from his staff. 5 STAR rating from us. .

Jesse helped me immensely. He was very knowledgeable about my case from the beginning and continued his education regarding it. He always went above and beyond, doing things more than he needed to and keeps doing so, even after the case has been closed. I always felt comfortable trusting him with ...the case and providing me a positive outcome.
